ZANACO launches "loan-a-cow" product
Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZANACO) launched the “loan-a-cow” scheme – the first of its kind in Zambia. Through the scheme, smallholder farmers will be able to acquire cow-loans at an interest rate of 16 percent from ZANACO through their respective cooperatives. The farmer then services the loan through revenues from milk produced from his/her cow which is purchased by milk processors Parmalat/Zam Milk. The processor pays a percentage of the full amount they are supposed to pay the farmer to ZANACO i.e. interest payment. If a farmer can consistently produce 30 litres of milk per day, the loan can be repaid in 3 years.

Madison Financial Services IPO: What you need to know

6/8/2014

0 Comments

 
In a year when lending rates have been as high as 28 percent, Madison Financial services (MFS) has positioned itself to start tapping cheaper capital by listing on the Lusaka Stock Exchange. MFS will become the 23rd listed entity on the Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) after they closed their Initial Public Offering last Friday. They also become the 3rd LuSE-listed domestic company with a presence outside of Zambia. The LuSE is up over 15 percent year-to-date despite an economically shaky first half of the year, making it a relatively attractive time to launch an IPO.

KLM set to scrap direct flight to Lusaka
Dutch airline KLM is set to discontinue direct flights from Lusaka to Amsterdam as of October 28 2014, two years after it started (and also a year after British Airways cut the Lusaka-London route). The carrier cited high operational costs as well as well a sub-optimal passenger mix which made the route unprofitable. The route will instead be serviced by KLMs strategic partner Kenya Airways via Nairobi to Amsterdam/Paris/London.
